The whole design behind ARR MSQ is to "waste" player time with a boring task after another (even Manfilia laugh at you for this at some point) and unnecessary backtracking when by lore we have link pearls. All they have to do is streamline that, there no need to remove any quest, just reduce some steps and remove backtracking. But it won't happen, at least with HW they fix it, I hardly know anyone that keep complaining after they begun with HW.
